Bitcoin Mirrors 2021 Election Trends: Could Trump’s Inauguration Trigger a Surge?

• Trump’s expected pro-crypto policies could serve as a major catalyst for Bitcoin’s next leg up.
• Analysts highlight $95,900 and $97,500 as key resistance levels before a push to $100K.
• Altcoins show mixed performance, with XRP surging 7.30% amid continued investor optimism.

Bitcoin’s price movements leading up to the 2025 U.S. presidential inauguration appear to reflect patterns observed during the 2021 election cycle, according to analyst Lark Davis.

In a recent analysis, Davis identified three distinct phases that Bitcoin followed during the last presidential transition, suggesting that the current market trajectory may align with historical trends.

Bitcoin’s first phase began in November and December 2024, when a strong rally pushed prices to a peak of $108,000. Following this high, the market entered a corrective phase, often referred to as the “pre-inauguration dump,” as investors reacted to political uncertainty.

Currently, Bitcoin remains in this phase, with market participants closely watching for signs of a recovery.

Trump’s Crypto Policies Could Spark a Post-Inauguration Rally

If history “rhymes,” as Davis suggests, the market may be on the verge of a post-inauguration price surge, similar to the Bitcoin rally that followed the 2021 election. ETHNews analysts point to Trump’s expected pro-crypto policies , which could serve as a major catalyst for price appreciation.

Trump has pledged to reshape the regulatory for crypto assets, contrasting with Biden’s cautious stance.

Additionally, reports suggest that the new administration may explore a strategic Bitcoin stockpile as part of a broader economic plan. This shift in policy could fuel renewed investor optimism, driving Bitcoin to fresh highs.

Key Technical Levels to Watch

Altcoins Show Mixed Performance Amid Bitcoin’s Stability
